Sorry I didn't mean to imply decoding JT modes inside the KX2 I was wondering why the rig is not frequency stable for narrow digital modes using a PC for encode/decode. Why could it not be manufactured more stable?? Dan VA3MA

The KX2 has no direct interface to the Internet - frequency stability -- JT65 has some stringent frequency stability requirements, it is possible that the KX2 may have difficulty providing this, especially if it is heating up with long held transmission times of a high duty cycle mode like JT65. 73, Matt VK2RQ On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 5:58 AM -0700, "Dan - VA3MA" <va...@me.com> wrote: > Could Elecraft explain why the KX2 design doesn't allow operating say JT65 > out of the box? > What prohibits manufacturing the rig to do the narrow digital modes? > Would be helpful to know > Thanks > Dan VA3MA > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to matt.vk...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
